I have had it with the justifications. The weaponization of poverty, neurodiversity, mental illness, all of it.
if you follow me and are using my RTs of authors' books to pirate books (many who are financially struggling, I might add), then frankly fuck off.

I did a thread a few weeks ago of "authors link your stuff" & one of my author friends who is one emergency away from being homeless had a massive spike in downloads on Anna's Archive from people *who follow me* complaining about how they are poor & should be allowed to steal from other poor people

So they steal from me then sell those stolen goods to a company who repackages those stolen goods and resells them again. Fuck all the way off. This isn't like ye olden days of pirating off Napster. This is entitlement and greed from AI companies and readers.

They also sell everything to companies building LLMs, there's a link offering their "datasets" (books, papers, etc) for tens of thousands of dollars USD. They also auto-scrape everything scanned and uploaded to Internet Archive's Open Library. So. Yeah. 🙃
